Long time, no see

A morning that should have gone quite cheerfully went sour quicker than a bowl of soup. Fredrick drove through the streets to Nei-nei’s chateau with Adrian beside him.The whole time he was venting and ranting to Noah about the morning and he was listening attentively, completely nervous about what to say.When he tagged along with his brother, he hadn’t thought far into their time together.Fredrick glanced at him and noticed his grimace, “Am I making you uncomfortable?” He asked, Noah chuckled dryly,“That’s not it. I just…” his voice trailed off, but the look on Fredrick’s face was warm and accommodating.“I just don’t want to ruin it.” He confessed.He had suddenly become nervous because he didn’t want to ruin this new relationship with somewhat of a blood relative.He also had questions, he had lots of questions, he just didn’t know if it was the right time to ask.Fredrick paused and breathed easily, relieving himself of the pent up frustrations he held inside of him.“If you

if there’s a catch, there’s a weakness

For every minute Avery spent at the Mainland, Fredrick’s apprehension grew even stronger.He kept dialing her number praying silently that she was safe.Unexpectedly, Noah bolted from the garage to the garden where Fredrick had been sitting impatiently.“Fredrick!” He exclaimed.“I got them on the phone.” “Them?” He asked, with eyes widened in relief.Noah handed the phone over to him.“Hello…” Fredrick began, crossing his fingers and eagerly expecting a familiar voice to respond.“Fredrick, I think we are being followed.”“Someone is following us!” The girls exclaimed in despair.For a moment, Fredrick’s went completely blank, he didn’t know what to do or what to say.Noah grabbed the phone from him, “Margaret, can you read the numbers on the license plate? Is the number visible enough?” Fredrick glanced at his brother, he seemed to know what he was doing.“2”“2…”I can hear you, Margaret!Just read it in one go. You might not have much time left.”“What do you mean?!” Avery excl

Tomorrow is not promised

To be impatient was Avery’s weakness, Fredrick had only just observed.But he couldn’t deny the fact that Adrian was hiding something. He looked like it, he wasn’t giving accurate replies to any of her questions. He looked like he had been threatened not to say anything about the incident.Fredrick wished Alex was with him, he needed him.“Where is Alex?” Margaret asked, as if she had read Fredrick’s mind.“He will be here shortly, I hope.”Avery was tired of coercing her brother to say the truth, she gently went to him and said,“You must talk to the lawyer when he gets here.”“Lawyer?!” Adrian exclaimed, he looked quite startled and confused.“Why do we need a lawyer?” “Why shouldn’t we, Adrian? You went missing for a week and we only just found out this morning.” Avery yelled.“Where were you? Who took you?What did they do to you?These are questions I need answers to and you’re not yielding.” She continued.“I think you’re too hard on him, Avery.”“If he claims he left on his

The universe planned it all out!

“I fear Avery is in danger.” Fredrick said, his voice cracking with genuine concern.He was scared for her and his baby more than he cared about Mr Jonah Jonah’s threat to take over his company.Noah jolted from his seat and paced around the room, he was concerned for Fredrick and he wanted to help.It suddenly seemed to him that the universe had planned this meeting so he could offer assistance in the little way he could.He went from left to right, scratching his head restlessly,“Can you stop pacing around? I can’t think!” Gary riposted.“Stop yelling, I’m trying to think” Alex countered him.“Bunch of children!” Fredrick scoffed. The room fell back to its initial ambiance, quiet and still.“Avery is not in danger, you are.” Gary said, his face was covered with an expression that meant business. His gaze was towards Alex as he spoke.“What do you mean?” Alex asked.“To be honest, I didn’t know you were married until Alex told me and I’m suspecting it’s the same for anyone who hasn

Look out, Mr Jonah. You’re about to be swallowed!

Fredrick, Avery, Margaret and Adrian stared blankly at Alex, Noah and Gary.The lot of them had no idea what Alex and Gary were calling a “crazy idea”.The last thing they had heard from Noah was a suggestion for Fredrick to bequeath his wealth to a trusted source.“What are you talking about, Alex? I’m confused.” Fredrick said.Avery’s stomach had been growling for a while amidst the ruckus.She considered waiting until the family had figured out a way to stop Mr Jonah Jonah, but the idea of starving the fetus inside her made her uneasy. Being an expecting mother had its perks, maybe this was one of them. She was uncontrollably hungry, her grumbling stomach was increasingly becoming more of an upset, affecting her mood.Her face contorted into a frown that had Fredrick worried as he landed his gaze on her.“Avery…” he called.Avery didn’t bulge, she was staring blankly at the large bowl of food in front of them.“Avery!” Margaret softly called, shaking her from her daze.“What is it?

Til dinner, love.

The next few days was a blur.Margaret and Avery were admonished to stay home, while the men went about their everyday lives, putting things in place and preparing for Mr Jonah Jonah’s reveal.Their plan was clear and definite.Attorney Alexander Clinton had began to make all legal moves to transfer his client’s wealth to his son.Gary had taken a break from Greenville, he had traveled to Sydney for a potential business investment.Adrian and Noah were saddled with the responsibility to keep Mr Sinh’s cafe running.They spent the nights learning to brew coffee, and the morning to serve them.Margaret and Avery spent the day enjoying the bliss of the mansion together while the men were away.Fredrick had been more relieved knowing that his wife was safe at home, but his mind was not at rest when he thought about Alex being Mr Jonah Jonah’s first target.He had been trying to convince Alex to move in to the mansion temporarily until he was handled but Alex was adamant without making his

Time heals all wounds, doesn’t it?

Margaret had overtaken the kitchen affairs in the house, she cooked better than all of them and she enjoyed it but Avery could not choose who was better between she and Fredrick. He made the most sumptuous meals, at least from the few times he cooked, Margaret fought to defend her skills indignantly, “My cooking is superb. Your husband only really comes close.” She rolled her eyes as she poured spaghetti into a boiling pot.“I think he’s better.” Avery teased her.“Or maybe you were just too in love to notice. Love can overwhelm your sense of taste” Margaret scoffedAvery laughed heartily, enjoying their little squabbles.“Are you saying your food is tasteless to Alex too?”Margaret blushed softly, her reddened face smile turned into a soft smile,“I don’t love him!” She exclaimed softly.“Oh you do. You’re glowing with so much love.” Avery continued teasing her. “Have you told him?” “Huh? It is not that serious!” Margaret riposted, blushing.“If you love him, just say it. It migh

Chords of rationality.

“I’m offended by your comment, Margaret. Do a little more thinking for Christ’s sakes. Your boyfriend is a Lawyer!” Gary exclaimed.“If Mr Jonah Jonah is wanted in Australia and he is in Greenville stirring trouble, what would be the easiest thing to do?” Alex broke it down for her but she still didn’t get it.“How can you catch someone who has not even revealed himself to you?” She protested.“By drawing him out” Noah replied.“Exactly. Noah, I might kiss you. Don’t look at me right now!” Gary squealed, shuddering as he spoke.“Mr Jonah Jonah is demanding Fredrick’s signature on some signed documents, isn’t he? We can use that against him.” Alex continued.Gradually, Margaret began to understand why he was so excited.Avery heaved in relief.“I think that’s the best news I’ve received in a while”“Let’s get to work, how can we help?” Noah asked, gazing at Gary for further details.Gary blinked intently, “What do you mean?”“I’ve done my part, the rest is up to you.” He gulped down

For my friend…

Four days ago, Alex had punched Gary in the face. That was the first time he ever broke the law and he didn’t even regret it. Gary had it coming, he was being unnecessarily rude to Margaret and he was pushing Fredrick to an early grave. Gary wasn’t with them when Nei Nei dragged Mr Jonah to court, he was only a novice lawyer by then. But watching his superiors, he understood they were in a tough spot. Attorney O’Neil was more stressed about Jonah Jonah than he was when he represented Greenville at the Russian Senate. He was pretty scared for Fredrick’s life. He more so hated that he was blindly following Gary’s unproven theories.He needed to talk to someone, anyone. Well, not just anyone- someone that valued Fredrick as much as he did. “Avery!” He muttered.He glided into the serene space of the mansion, desperately hoping to have a few minutes with Avery before Fredrick got back from work.He had been dissuading him from taking this decision for the last few days but the more he

Sorry is not enough

Avery and Adrian tuned into the Greenville Broadcast Network.They were watching Fredrick and Alex battling for their lives on TV. It felt surreal, their simple lives had drastically taken a new turn and they were suddenly fighting an enemy to stay alive.Gary had underrated Mr Jonah Jonah. Alex was right.From the coverage on the news, before the Greenville Police crew arrived at Day Street.There was a bombing in the warehouse. It was the bombing that led the situation to the news and it wasn’t looking good.Avery had been crying for hours unending, terrified that she would never see the father of unborn child.Margaret was even worse, she was frozen to her seat, unable to breathe. Scared for both her brother and Alex. Alex was smart to have gone to the Detective, at least they were on the right course, pursuing Mr Jonah Jonah and his bandits.He had brought a whole army to Greenville and they were not backing down.“What’s the situation?” He panicked.“Is Fredrick alive?” His
